Dave, I am glad you asked this -- I was hoping that someone would, because I think it is something that should be debated among the forum users.

Personally, I figure if the ultimate purpose of the post, no matter how it is worded, is to sell something or buy something, that is the same thing as a classified ad.

I also do not personally think that it is fair to the people who DO pay for a classified ad, when others do not.

For something like this, I also this it is important to picture the extreme to which it can be carried.

I hope lots of people will give input on this thread.

By the way, I had Rick remove the whole original thread, because it was hard for people to understand what it was about after you removed the initial post.

I'm sorry about being sarcastic -- I've been that way all my life. It's my form of humor. I'll try to control myself.
